Institute of Music and Knowledge:

The Institute of Music and Knowledge is a non-profit socio-cultural entity dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of culture, especially music, as a tool for the development of society through education, knowledge, and talent.

It spreads proposals from all periods and styles that represent an artistic innovation. To achieve this, it works in three ways: it informs about the current state of music, it educates through cultural dissemination, and it supports artists with a very high and strong creative level.

It is an independent and impartial entity which is sustained by the support of collaborating entities, both public or private, and by the income generated by its activities.

Thanks to the collaboration with the university environment and its graduates, as well as the business area, the Institute of Music and Knowledge has a multidisciplinary team that relies on the use of new technologies, design, and communication. This working group, made up of undergraduate and master’s students from different specialties, researches the history and current state of music from an artistic, social, historical, and anthropological point of view.

As a result, we have obtained a detailed database of information, which is constantly being developed and updated.

To convey this set of high-quality and well-researched knowledge, we create educational tools and materials such as: texts for bibliographic publications, newspaper articles, radio scripts, multimedia presentations, videos, podcasts, and an endless array of formats.

Supported by these resources, we carry out some activities. Besides, we produce radio programs on stations from different networks, teach classes in educational centres and we also organize workshops and conferences in socio-cultural entities and collaborate with artists and researchers.

At the same time, we participate in programs of both public or private entities, to which we provide cultural management services such as: documentation and content creation, organization of seminars or concerts and festivals production.

The Institute of Music and Knowledge is coordinated and managed by Amador Pérez de Algaba: computer scientist, cultural manager, teacher, editor, music disseminator and critic.
